Forget Me Not

But at times it feels as if everyone has forgotten me…

As I remain paralyzed in the memories of my past, it feels as if time is slipping out of my hands.

Day and night, I stay wrapped in warm reveries of my past, in attempts to avoid getting frost bites from my cold reality.

Alone I stay, like a piece of old dusty furniture, dreading the day I get tossed out.

I was here with the budding of each flower and will stay alive in the garden of memories I have bestowed upon them.

From the first day of life, first steps, first words, walks to school, graduation, and marriage…I was there.

I May Forget but, Forget Me Not…
